Business Outlook
Pros
Legal Assistants at Shearman are treated like Associates, so they are treated with a lot of respect and give substantive responsibilities. Excellent team to work with, everyone is friendly and respectful. Excellent training and growth opportunities. Diversity and Inclusion initiatives are at the forefront of the firm, at both worldwide and practice group levels.
Cons
Very poor work-life balance. 24/7 on-call nature. Expected to be reached anytime, even on vacation, weekends, or holidays. Substantial late-night and weekend work.
